What is Zublax?

We use Zublax to mean: a skill testing contest between two or more players. The terms is a nonsensical word we appropriated from a GDC talk given by Alec Holowka. We needed a term to distinguish between the different kinds of things that are all referred to by the word "game" and Zublax, being a nonsense word was suggested. The name stuck and we jokingly named the podcast "This week in Zublax". We discuss far more than the kinds of games we would call Zublax but we're all pretty silly so it works for us.

Format

My god, it's full of longness! Yes indeed our podcasts tend to be fairly long (2.5 - 3.5 hours). We're mostly just recording our own conversations and we didn't intend to make a podcast initially until it was requested that we record for the benefit of someone who couldn't attend.
